Pure crap...How can you tell distance....is it close to SOHO or the sun? unknown as you can not triangulate these objects in SOHO to claim distance ....yet claims are made in the article that it should be melting in the coronosphere.Sheesh!

My guess it is much closer to earth than the sun to see any detail and looks lie it is a particle flash on ccd right at the 5 o'clock position of the object.

These wild claims without critical thinking really hurts the community at large of those looking for real evidence.

Many yrs ago when Kent was around he had photos from SOHO of a large bright object surrounded cicularly by 8 small points of light equidistant from each other that seemed irrefutable that was of intelligent design.

"If one understands that socialism is not a share-the-wealth programme, but is in reality a method to consolidate and control the wealth, then the seeming paradox of super-rich men promoting socialism becomes no paradox at all. Instead, it becomes logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs.

Communism or more accurately, socialism, is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite."

If the sun's corona were primarily heated by electro/magnetic forces as opposed to nuclear one could imagine being able to produce counter fields against the energy if you were advanced you could probably use the energy itself to power the shield.
